The 2022-FT1 Notes have been assigned an investment grade rating of BBB- by Kroll Bond Rating Agency, and will rank pari passu with (i) the secured term notes due April 25, 2023 issued by Issuer Trust on April 25, 2018 (the “2018-FT1 Notes”); (ii) the secured term notes due March 25, 2026 issued by Issuer Trust on March 30, 2021 (the “2021-FT2 Notes”); and (iii) the Series 2017-MSRVF1 Notes dated December 20, 2017, issued by Issuer Trust. In addition, the 2022-FT1 Notes are secured by certain participation certificates relating to Fannie Mae mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) and excess servicing spread relating to such MSRs (“ESS”) that are financed by Pennymac Corp. pursuant to a series of structured finance transactions, which are further described in the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on December 27, 2017, April 30, 2018, August 10, 2020, August 13, 2020, and March 31, 2021, as well as in the Company’s other current and periodic reports.

(g)The Designated Transaction Representative and its directors, officers, agents or employees shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under or in connection with this Indenture Supplement or the other Transaction Documents in its capacity as Designated Transaction Representative, other than action or inaction undertaken with gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith. Without limiting the foregoing and notwithstanding any understanding to the contrary, no Noteholder shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Designated Transaction Representative as a result of the Designated Transaction Representative acting or refraining from acting under this Indenture Supplement, the Notes or any of the other Transaction Documents in its own interests or otherwise, other than as a result of gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith by the Designated Transaction Representative.
(h)None of the Issuer, Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Calculation Agent, the Administrator, the Designated Transaction Representative, the Administrative Agent, the Servicer or any other transaction party will have any liability for any determination made by or on behalf of the Issuer by any party, including the Designated Transaction Representative or any action or inaction by the Administrative Agent, in connection with a Benchmark Transition Event, any Benchmark Replacement Date, the determination of or a Benchmark Replacement and the making of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes or SOFR Adjustment Conforming Changes as described above, and each Noteholder, by its acceptance of a Note or a beneficial interest in a Note, shall be deemed to waive and release any and all claims against any of the Issuer, Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Calculation Agent, the Paying Agent, the Administrator, the Designated Transaction Representative, the Administrative Agent or any other transaction party relating to any such determinations.

Notwithstanding any other terms of this Indenture Supplement, the Series 2022-FT1 Term Notes, any other Transaction Documents or otherwise, the obligations of the Issuer under the Series 2022-FT1 Term Notes, this Indenture Supplement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party are limited recourse obligations of the Issuer, payable solely from the Trust Estate, and following realization of the Trust Estate and application of the proceeds thereof in accordance with the terms of this Indenture Supplement, none of the Noteholders of Series 2022-FT1 Term Notes, the Indenture Trustee or any of the other parties to the Transaction Documents

No recourse shall be had for the payment of any amount owing in respect of the Series 2022-FT1 Term Notes or this Indenture Supplement or for any action or inaction of the Issuer against any officer, director, employee, shareholder, stockholder or incorporator of the Issuer or any of their successors or assigns for any amounts payable under the Series 2022-FT1 Term Notes or this Indenture Supplement. It is understood that the foregoing provisions of this Section 13 shall not (a) prevent recourse to the Trust Estate for the sums due or to become due under any security, instrument or agreement which is part of the Trust Estate, including, without limitation, the PC Guaranty and the PMT Guaranty or (b) save as specifically provided therein, constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any indebtedness or obligation evidenced by the Series 2022-FT1 Term Notes or secured by this Indenture Supplement. It is further understood that the foregoing provisions of this Section 13 shall not limit the right of any Person to name the Issuer as a party defendant in any proceeding or in the exercise of any other remedy under the Series 2022-FT1 Term Notes or this Indenture Supplement, so long as no judgment in the nature of a deficiency judgment or seeking personal liability shall be asked for or (if obtained) enforced against any such Person or entity.
Section 14.Owner Trustee Limitation of Liability.
It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that (a) this Indenture Supplement is executed and delivered by Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB (“WSFS”), not individually or personally but solely in its capacity as Owner Trustee under the Trust Agreement, in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in it thereunder, (b) each of the representations, warranties, undertakings, obligations and agreements herein made on the part of the Issuer is made and intended not as personal representations, warranties, undertakings, obligations and agreements by WSFS but is made and intended for the purpose of binding only, and is binding only on, the Issuer, (c) nothing herein contained shall be construed as creating any liability on WSFS, individually or personally, to perform any covenant or obligation of the Issuer, either expressed or implied, contained herein, all such liability, if any, being expressly waived by the parties hereto and by any Person claiming by, through or under the parties hereto, (d) WSFS has not made and will not make any investigation as to the accuracy or completeness of any representations or warranties made by the Issuer in this Indenture Supplement or any related document delivered pursuant hereto and (e) under no circumstances shall WSFS be personally liable for the payment of any indebtedness, indemnities or expenses of the Issuer, or be liable for the performance, breach or failure of any obligation, representation, warranty or covenant made or undertaken by the Issuer or by WSFS as Owner Trustee on behalf of the Issuer under this Indenture Supplement or any other related documents, as to all of which recourse shall be had solely to the assets of the Issuer.
Section 15.Credit Risk Retention.
While it is not clear that Section 15G of the 1934 Act, added pursuant to Section 941(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Regulation RR”), applies to the issuance of the Series 2022-FT1 Term Notes and that PMC will be deemed a securitizer for the purposes of Regulation RR, PMC will maintain a subordinated seller’s interest in the Issuer (in the form of the Owner Trust Certificate) that equals not less than 5% of the aggregate unpaid
19
principal balance of any Outstanding Notes (other than Notes held to maturity by PMC or its wholly-owned affiliates), calculated and held for the period of time required in accordance with Regulation RR. Neither PMC nor any wholly owned affiliate will engage in activities that constitute impermissible hedging, transfer or financing of the Owner Trust Certificate.
The seller’s interest expected to be retained by PMC in connection with Regulation RR (to the extent applicable), will equal approximately 18.6% or $149,058,393 (in each case, as calculated in accordance with Regulation RR), as of the Issuance Date. The Series 2017-VF1 Notes have been issued and are held by PMC and financed by Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch and Citibank, N.A., however the Note Balance of the Series 2017-VF1 Notes is not included in the denominator of the calculation that produced the percentage described above in accordance with Regulation RR.
Section 16.Note Rating Agency.
It is a condition of issuance of the Series 2022-FT1 Term Notes that the Series 2022-FT1 Term Notes be rated at least “BBB- (sf)” by the Note Rating Agency. There can be no assurance that a rating will not be lowered or withdrawn by the Note Rating Agency in the future.
